rs is Spearman correlation coefficient.

Physical activity dimensions were adjusted for age, educational level, alcohol use and smoking status. The Dutch Healthy Diet Index was adjusted for age, educational level, waist circumference, smoking status and total energy intake. Adiposity measures were adjusted for age, time in HPA, smoking status, Dutch Healthy Diet Index and educational level. Pathophysiological markers were adjusted for age, waist circumference, time in HPA and family history of diabetes.

AUC, area under the curve; BMI, body mass index; HOMA2-IR, Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance; HPA, high-intensity physical activity; LPA, low-intensity physical activity.
